So heres the problem folks, yesterday i was driving out the the beach (windy fun roads) and driving it pretty hard i would say and all the while blasting music with my recently installed sub.
it lasted all the way back home ( there and back is around 1.5hrs) and was fine the whole way. when i took the car out later in the day after coming home it just randomly stopped working at
an intersection, didnt even roughly idl;e before going out and it was so subtle that i didnt even notice until i tryuied to accelerate and nothing happened. All of my dash lights were working but
i had to turn it off and wait around a minute before i could start it again. when it did start i noticed something i hadnt noticed before that was that the music was alot quieter even tho it was at the
same volume. This "break down" happened a few more times throughout the trip and was really frustrating. thing is, i have a brand new batter (2 weeks old) and a brand new alternator (3 weeks old)
so unless i was listening to the music so loud that it discharged the battery which is possible i guess, what i dont understand is that last night i charged up the battery using a charger at home and it happened at
an intersection today as well. I notice that when it goes out, my traction control light comes on first, then my power steering goes out and sometimes but not always, my power braking goes out as well.
Please help me out as im hoping its just a classic "charge the battery" problem and not something major.
